Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

I had a second interview people! For this interview I had to go in and make a sales pitch in favor of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, and why someone should choose PB&J over a turkey sandwich. Here's my pitch with stage directions included:

This morning I’d like to start by saying that aside from the obvious fact that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches can be made by four-year olds and monkeys; there are many other reasons that our peanut-butter and jelly sandwich pounds the turkey sandwich when it comes to lunch time battles.

Let me ask you this question: would saving some time in the morning, or at any mealtime, be something that you’d look forward to and appreciate? (yes)

Well the classic PB&J is a timesaver! We have found that you will generally save about 2 hours a week just by creating a PB&J instead of a turkey sandwich. TWO HOURS! Wouldn’t that be nice?

This sandwich can be created in a Jiffy and bagged to go. You can quickly throw together a peanut butter and honey/jelly/nutella/banana sandwich on multigrain bread and you have a heart healthy meal- not to mention a sweet childhood memory!

It’s a timesaver but it’s boring eating the same peanut butter and jelly sandwich daily. Yes, some may argue that the turkey sandwich allows for more creativity as you can add more “extras”

 But let me ask this: have you heard of the ‘Regular Elvis’- peanut butter and banana with bacon, or maybe the ‘Black Elvis’- peanut butter, banana, bacon and nutella?

Maybe you’ve heard mention of the ‘Poo Bear’- peanut butter and honey or the ever-popular ‘Fools Gold’- peanut butter, raisins and some sugar. There are so many different ways to incorporate peanut butter and jelly into a sandwich it leaves the ingredients for turkey sandwiches crying on the sidelines.

Now let me ask you another question: would you like to save a CONSIDERABLE amount of money on lunches, food and groceries?

Let’s compare a pound of turkey, coming in on sale at around $6, to a pound of peanut butter and a jar of jelly coming in around $5 each. You would at first think the turkey is the more cost effective product. However, you can save $23 a week just by using the peanut butter versus making a turkey sandwich.

Plus, peanut butter and jelly keep longer than turkey- (not to mention longer than tomatoes, lettuce etc.) so you can effectively “spread your investment” over 3 to 4 times more sandwiches.

We’ll never win the war on our own hunger. So your best bet is to eat foods that keep you full longer; foods high in protein and fiber, like peanut butter. The peanut butter “sticks to your ribs” and manages to leave you content after your meal.

I’d like to point out the nutritional side of these sandwiches.  Some may argue the sugar in jelly is what ruins the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. However, our company makes a sugar free jelly, which is amazing. It tastes just like full sugar jelly with 1/3^rd less calories!

 So go ahead, grab our peanut butter and jelly sandwich- mix and match your ingredients, feel fuller longer, save time & money. Leave that deli section and next time you’re going to build a turkey sandwich, remember who is really king of the kitchen-

Peanut Butter and Jelly J It’s so good someone even wrote a song about it! **Play song**

Then I played this. No shit. I really did. I'm so hired:
